Inclusion Criteria
  • Age > 40 years and < 85
  • BMI ≥ 25 and < 35
  • Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at onset or treated only by diet
  • HbA1c between 6.0 and 8.0% (based on the last measured and documented laboratory measurement of the previous 3 months)
  • Usual consumption ≤ 3 fish per week
Exclusion Criteria
  • T2D treated with antidiabetic oral drugs and/or insulin
  • Current or previous (within 3 months) intake of omega 3 suplements
  • Known allergy or intolerance to fish or fish protein
  • Diagnosis of active neoplasic disease
  • Suffering from an acute illness which requires a recovery period higher than one week
  • Currently chronic treatment with oral steroids or nonesteroidal anti-inflammatory for more than 5 days, at least 1 month before randomization
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding patients
  • Serious acute vascular events (cardiac or cerebral) diagnosed previous 2 months before the randomization
  • Current or previous (within 6 months) participation in another study
  • Chronic renal insufficiency (creatinine >1,5 mg/dl)
  • Any conditions that the investigator considers may render the patient unable to complete the study

During the interventional study, based on current standards of T2D care, doctors will introduce anti-diabetic oral drugs or insulin into the patient's treatment, where they consider it to be necessary.
